Circumcision is one of the most common surgeries performed all over the world. It is generally performed either in a surgical THEATRE, at home or as in some countries even at the roadsides or in the bush etc.
Circumcision methods vary in different regions and problems e.g. infections, accidental amputations of the glans penis, bleeding etc. continue to occur. This happens even in circumcisions performed in an operating THEATRE. This research identified that most of these problems continue to occur because in all the circumcisions methods or devices invented so far, the surgery is of invasive type.
This invention enables circumcisions to be performed not only safely and easily but also ----- for the first time in surgical history ----- enables circumcisions to be performed just as aseptically, at home, on the roadsides or out there in the bush, as in an operating THEATRE. These problems are prevented because the surgery performed by this device is of non-invasive type.
